Brighton will look to extend their fine recent form that has seen them unbeaten in five, including wins against Leeds, Tottenham and Liverpool.

Potter's team are also looking to do the double over Aston Villa, having beaten them 2-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

Brighton are without centre-back Adam Webster (ankle) and Davy Propper (groin) was only fit enough to make the bench.

Potter remains without Tariq Lamptey (hamstring), Solly March (knee), Alireza Jahanbakhsh (hamstring) and Florin Andone (knee) for the evening clash.

Steven Alzate starts once in again in the Premier League and he's expected to line-up at left wing back in place of the injured Solly March.

Dan Burn will slot in on the left side of the defensive trio while Polish duo Jakub Moder and Michal Karbownik are on the bench having made their debuts in the FA Cup loss at Leicester in midweek.

@ryanadsett Alzate starting just makes me happy

@gregbinstead: If you want goal Brighton, you must play lion of Judah king Percy

bhafcjoe21: Would of started karb instead of burn but strong team

@TogetherBHA: No complaints at that team for #BHAFC really really happy to see that front 5 getting consistent game time together too, Potter is definitely starting to envision his best 11

@Collins_Haz12: Lampard had Mount. Potter has Burn..

@SidTheSeagull3: Potter after lots of chopping and changes quite obviously knows and it’s confident of his strongest Eleven. Webster and Lamptey will make us even stronger by the time we face the Pikeys. #BHAFC
